Eruv in Mumbai: worth checking ahead
We don't know of an active eruv in Mumbai. For a relaxed Shabbat, check with the local Chabad house or community beforehand, and leave your key at reception.
Shabbat meals in Mumbai
Most kosher restaurants close for Shabbat. Ask the Chabad house about Shabbat meals before you travel - ideally by Thursday.
Tip: book a stay within an easy walk of the Chabad house - for a relaxed meal and a short, pleasant stroll back.

Bene Israel and Baghdadis: the oldest Jewish history in India. Nariman House (Chabad Colaba), rebuilt after 2008, is a home, a memorial and a mikveh all at once - coordinate ahead, it isn't a snack bar. The city is huge: Colaba for Chabad, historic synagogues elsewhere. No restaurant network like New York's. Meals through Chabad. Heat and monsoon set the pace.
Stay in the kosher area of Mumbai
For Shabbat in Mumbai, base yourself in or near Colaba - Nariman House / Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai (Chabad house listed on the site) is within walking distance from there, along with the other kosher listings for the city.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
